Why am I laughing?
I'm sad.
Why am I smiling?
I'm hurt.
Why am I crying,
Without tears?
Why am I leaving,
Without years?
Where am I going?
Why won't I stay?
I can be happy.
Or maybe okay.
Why am I sad,
With a smile on my face?
Why am I hurt,
When joy I embrace?
Why am I crying,
Without any tears?
Why have I been broken,
For so many years?
Why won't I stay,
if I can be happy?
But then again,
Why am I happy,
If I'm not okay.
